In the deep woods just outside of Marquette, MI, is an entire Big Boy graveyard where about a dozen or so Big Boy statues have been dumped, presumably by the proprietors of the local Big Boy restaurant. It's a popular spot for the local youth (especially college kids from NMU) to check out late at night. It's fun and a bit creeepy.

That's awesome! Do you know the coordinates, or do you have pictures?
AKchaos49 t1_j1gbvha wrote
I don't. It's been 20+ years since I've been there. All I remember is that it's off County Road 510, which runs north from US 41 between Marquette and Negaunee.

There’s some crazy (along with the breathtaking) stuff in Wyoming! There’s a 60-foot square, 60-feet tall granite pyramid a little off I-80 about 20 miles east of Laramie, just sitting there out in the sagebrush. The Ames Monument. Stopped to see it on a road trip from Ohio to Yellowstone several years ago.

Bob’s Big Boy statues have a nasty habit of disappearing and popping up in strange places. One turned up on the roof of West High in Torrance but they never caught the perps.

Why would anyone give even a thimbleful of the world's thinnest shit about this?

Because they are near Cody Wyoming.
It's the main attraction
marko719 OP t1_j1gbfmu wrote
To be fair, the natural landscape around Cody, WY, is absolutely stunning, and is the actual attraction here. The Big Boy statue is a roadside oddity.

The real roadside oddity is that weird mansion in Cody.

It’s pretty close to this Big Boy statue. I’ve often wondered if they were related when I drive that highway.
